I took my four kittens and Mixi into the vet yesterday. I brought in a kitten stool sample and apparently they have roundworms. They're 7 weeks old. I need to take my other kitty Shaggy in to get weighed and dewormed too as a precaution. He likes to lick their butts a lot, so I'm almost positive he has them too.
What I'm asking for is any advice to get rid of the worms for good. I have a second dose for Mixi and babies to give in two weeks. Should I completely change every litter box? And when? When should I have them tested for worms again to ensure they're all gone?
My vet said that roundworms are transferrable to humans, and I can't place a kitten into one home until they are absolutely all gone because she has a two year old.
I've never had to deal with worms, so please help!
